purple onion sale

Hello Friends, How are you today? Our house is feeling awfully quiet because we just took our daughter back to college yesterday. I tell ya’ stamping and blogging is such a great way to keep the ole mind busy. I am thinking that you already know that? I am sharing this card today because Purple Onion Designs is having a great Anniversary 25% off sale! Purple Onion has some of the sweetest images that are so fun to create little scenes with. (PO stamps are unmounted. Some people mount them before stamping… I just gingerly stamp away ever so carefully. )

There are a few little details on this card that I want to share. I stamped, cut & colored another dress, flipped up the bottom & glued it down just at the waistline. Wink of Stella was added only to the purple accents, parts of the leaves & a portion to the “flower”.

Lots of white dot action with the only gel pen that works lol. I also added a “halo” with a grey marker around the image. Once I finished coloring I added some distress ink carefully around the image. (I was to lazy to mask the image… if your inking tool is dry but, has leftover distress ink on it, this look is easier to achieve.)

You Might Also Enjoy...

What adorable images. You’ve, once again, made them come alive with your immeasurable coloring skills. Just adore the sweet little details you’ve added. You’ll have to excuse me now…heading to Purple Onion for some retail therapy.

I really like these cute images, they are fresh, funky and fun! Your card is adorable. I had never heard of the Purple Onion before, so thanks for leading me to them. I will definitely be shopping with them.

Another reason I’m so happy to sub…I saw this on IG and hadn’t noticed the little ears popping off the edge of the card on my little phone screen!! You add so many perfect little touches to your cards, #copicsister – love you!

Such cute images and I love the details in your coloring! I also never heard of Purple Onion, so I just popped over to the website and absolutely love their designs! I will definitely be shopping with them 🙂 Thank you!

Aw Kathy, this is absolutely adorable! Love the cute scene you have created with wonderful colouring, the pretty touches of sparkle and all the dotty goodness! Hopefully the time will fly by until your daughter is home on holidays from college:)

An absolutely adorable card! If that isn’t the cuttest mousie I’ve ever seen. Beautifully colored as always and I love the glitter. Beautiful shading. I love the look of the seeds being blown from the flower. So sweet.

Adorable card and wonderful colouring and use of the white gel pen. I have used Aleene’s Tack It over and Over on the back of rubber mounted stamps. You apply, let it dry and then you have a temporary adhesive sticky back that you can use over and over with out having to mount it to a foam pad. I then store these stamps in a old CD case. http://www.amazon.com/Aleenes-Tack-It-Over-4oz/dp/B00178QQ84
This works for me!
